It was a nice feeling to catch up on tennis on Saturday after another busy week. Work is totally manic at the moment so I didn’t get to see any tennis in the week, let alone blog. I’m hoping to try and follow Singapore but don’t know how easy that will be! Saturday was semi-finals…
Thursday saw the completion of third round matches at the 2018 China Open. It was quite an eventful day with many gasps when catching up with the results! It’s been a busy day but I have belatedly managed to catch up with some of the matches so wanted to write a post. There’s also a…
Tuesday’s schedule was headlined by the first match in the night session between Garbiñe Muguruza and Aryna Sabalenka. I love it when a hotly anticipated match lives up to expectation! Wednesday’s schedule is pretty light with the conclusion of the second round and two of the third rounders. The draw has held up better so…
The first round of the 2018 China Open is in the books and the second round is also underway. I’m getting more into this tournament as it doesn’t feel so rushed. Monday was a pretty standard day with the only upset the loss of the number 13 seed, Elise Mertens to home favourite, Zhang Shuai.…

It’s changeover day as Wuhan has wrapped up and the fourth and final Premier Mandatory tournament in Beijing has already started.

I’ve changed roles at work so everything is…
Hello to all! It’s been a while since I have blogged so thought it was time for an update. After the US Open, and particularly with everything that came with the final, I needed a break. I’ve just changed roles at work so that took most of my thoughts in the week immediately after the…
The 2018 US Open semi-finals are all set and will both be on the schedule on Thursday night. This post wraps up the highlights from Wednesday’s schedule with the two quarter-finals from the bottom half. Thursday is always the toughest day of the tournament to catch up on with both semis at night so this…
The first semi-final at the 2018 US Open is set with the lower ranked players in both quarter-finals prevailing in straights. One of those was not unexpected though! I’m hitting the wall now and generally seem to lose a bit of interest in Slams and tournaments by the end when there’s not as much going…
The quarter-finals are set at the 2018 US Open with just eight women left in the hunt for the final Slam of the year. Monday featured a couple of dramatic matches and confirmation that the bottom half will produce a finalist that has never won a Slam before. Read on for six stories in Monday’s…
